Spring Equinox

Embracing the Magick of the Spring Equinox

On March 20th, we celebrate the Spring Equinox—a sacred moment of equilibrium where light and dark exist in perfect harmony. Marking the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, this celestial event signals the awakening of the earth and the end of winter’s slumber. Across cultures and traditions, this turning point is honored, most notably in the pagan festival of Ostara, named after the Germanic goddess Eostre. Her symbols—eggs and hares—have been woven into modern Easter celebrations, embodying fertility, renewal, and the boundless potential of new beginnings.

A Season of Balance and Awakening

As the wheel of the year turns, the Spring Equinox ushers in a time of transformation. Day and night, masculine and feminine, God and Goddess exist in divine balance. It is a season of rebirth, when the land stirs from its wintry rest, and life begins to bloom once more.

This year, the energy of Ostara is amplified by a Total Lunar Eclipse/Blood Moon occurring just six days earlier, on March 14th. Though the eclipse precedes the equinox, its potent energy lingers, initiating deep shifts within and around us. Eclipses are portals of transformation, urging us to release the old and step boldly into the new. As we stand at the threshold of spring, we are invited to embrace change, shed what no longer serves us, and realign with our highest path.

Persephone and the Awakening of the Goddess

Spring is not only an external shift—it is an inner awakening. In Greek mythology, Persephone, the radiant goddess of the soul, emerges from the underworld, bringing with her the gifts of growth, light, and renewal. She embodies confidence, power, and the mysteries of the sacred feminine, reminding us that rebirth is not just about the earth’s renewal—it is a personal metamorphosis as well.

As Persephone rises, so too does the divine feminine within us. She calls us to step into our sovereignty, embrace our strength, and walk forward with grace and purpose.

Spring Cleansing: A Ritual of Renewal

In the traditions of the Wise Woman, Ayurveda, and Magick, spring is the most potent time for cleansing. After the stillness of winter, our bodies, minds, and spirits crave renewal. This is the season to release stagnation, purify our energy, and create space for new growth.

Ways to honor the season:

• Stand in your center – Root yourself in the present, finding balance between the old and the new.
• Plant your intentions – Sow the seeds of your dreams in the fertile soil of possibility.
• Honor the wisdom of nature – Work with the energy of plants, crystals, and the cycles of the moon to amplify your renewal.

As we step into this time of blossoming potential, may we open our hearts to the beauty of the natural world, reconnect with our inner goddess, and embrace the sacred dance of transformation.

Blessed Be.
